To Friends of the Underground Concert Series,
Postcards for the next two shows have been mailed out - if you did not receive one and like to be on our snail mail list -
http://www.undergroundconcerts.com/snailmail.php
Help spread the word add a friend or two to our snail mail list (or email list ) also!
http://www.undergroundconcerts.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi
The biggest challenge is getting the word out - please let me know where you find out about local events or where a good place to put out postcards and/or hang posters would be. Any ideas would be helpful. (I'm sure this would be helpful to other non-profit groups in town also.)
Tickets for the shows can be purchased online. Tickets for the next two shows are available for sale at the following locations: Classic Design Framing - 168 Maplewood Avenue, Here’s 2 the Arts Cafe - 97 Baker Street, Pen and Jens Tea Bar - Maplewood Train Station, Robin Hutchins Gallery - 165 Maplewood Avenue
Most of the time you can get tickets at the door. In the event that a show is filling up, a heads up will be sent via email or on the homepage of the website.
This is going to be a fantastic season, a few more shows may be added shortly - so stay tuned!
Look forward to seeing you at a show or two this Spring!

About the show:
3 time Grammy Award winning Master Drummer Glen Velez is joined by vocal wizard, Lori Cotler, to create a sonically infused sanctuary of shaman inspired rhythms and melodies.
Glen Velez "Shaman Drums," invokes the ecstatic spirit drumming and vocal music of the shamans of Central Asia, the Americas and the Mediterranean world.
Music inspired by the shamanic traditions of the ancient and modern world
" Extreme virtuosity and imagination ... astonishing sophistication"
- Village Voice
" A galaxy of timbres and inflections ... remarkable rhythmic fireworks "
- The New York Times
"Performances of primal exhilaration ... seizing the soul of the music at hand"
- The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)
" Velez's music led to the essence of improvisation and composition ... the audience was rapt, absolutely still, except for those dancing in place"
- The Village Voice

Background of last nights musical program.

Slow demo of Konnakol (5. Indian rhythmic singing)
Demo of overtone singing
